OKBM developed a number of reactor plant designs for small power sources ranging from 1 to 200 MW(e), i.e. SAKHA-92, ABV, KLT-40C, ATETs-80, and ATETs-200, on the basis of the broad experience in the field of ship-based reactors creation and upgrading. All of the reactors are intended for reliable power and heat supply to isolated consumers in remote areas without centralized power supply where expensive imported fuel is used. In Russia these are large inhabited localities and ports along the Northern Seaway and the Far East Coast; while abroad these are coastal areas of developing countries. The expediency of these plants application for seawater desalination in areas with sweet water deficit was validated.

The designs of small power sources (ABV and KLT-40C), prepared for implementation, provide for arrangement of the nuclear power plant on a dumb barge. This floating power unit (FPU) can be created at a shipbuilding plant using a proven construction technology for nuclear ice-breakers and Navy ships. After integrated tests and acceptance by the Customer on the "turn key" basis, the FPU is transported to mooring where it is connected to coastal grids and starts operating. The FPU design minimizes the scope and cost of capital construction in the NPP location area. It also helps simplify the problems of radwaste storage, efficient maintenance of the plant and its decommissioning when the assigned lifetime has expired.

A floating co-generation plant design was developed for Pevek in Chukotka. The prototype FPU is under construction at JSC “Baltiysky Zavod” (Saint-Petersburg city).

A number of Conceptual Designs of single-purpose floating desalinating plants and power-desalinating complexes intended to generate heat, power and sweet water was developed on the basis of ABV and KLT-40 type reactor plants.

Presently OKBM is developing the design of VBER-300 modular reactor plant for medium power ground and floating NPP units on the basis of nuclear shipbuilding technologies.
